New House outdoors
Here are pics of the outside of the new house in snow! And one of the table nook in the kitchen
Quiet Friday
Another day of relaxing and playing with Gracie. We will see if I can get her to help me pack today too! She got this wonderful pink sweater/hat combo from expert knitter Aunt June for Christmas, the fabulous white canada hat set from Gale and the pink skating dress from Santa! I think the next extra curricular activity for this kid is going to be a dance class! Whenever she hears music, be it jazz, pop or classical, she runs for her room and changes into her skating dress and socks so she can glide on the wood floors and spin properly!
still packing....
More packing and organizing today! Although I am not allowed to pack much, lift anything or move around too much due to an early pre-term labor scare I am managing to get some little things done, lots of phone calls etc. We move on the 26th and Gracie is very excited about all the events going on. Her gym class is coming to a close and they were allowed to watch some video of themselves this Saturday. Gracie has been really improving her skills in learning to play and use her imagination. She loves to play "school" and puts all her "guys" in circle time and goes on picnics with them. This morning she spent hours in the bathroom putting her toothbrushes down for a nap!
packing, packing and more packing
Sorry, no pics today! Well I guess I haven't been very good about posting lately. We are in the throes of packing and panicking! We have arranged for the moving truck on the 26th so we have 2 weekends to most of the big stuff. I am excited to be in our new house but it will be sad to leave this house too! Every day I try to do a little bit without making it seem like we are moving out tomorrow and Gracie becomes very concerned when she sees boxes or bags with her stuff in it. She is determined to make sure this stuff all goes to the new house and into her new bedroom. We (or I rather) had decided that she would take the front bedroom which is bigger and painted a lovely dark blue with cream trim but when we went to the house last weekend she saw the baby's room which is turquoise and blue and decided immediately that it would be hers! It is a smaller room but has a nice view o the backyard and looked lovely with the light spilling in the windows. Now I am trying to figure out how to make that work for her. It's a busy time! The daycare down there which couldn't be more convenient, (it's one block away) won't be able to take her until September! Right now our plan is to keep her where she is and Paul will take her and pick her up since he has to go that way to work anyways!Things are moving and shaking in Paul's world and hopefully we will have some fun news to share soon!

New Year
Well the parents have gone, it's sad and the tree is down, the ornaments all packed away for another year. I am excited to get everything cleaned up and start packing for our big move in 4 weeks. The last day of M and D's trip was quiet and nice complete with a quiet book with Granny, Dad as always came through by fixing a loose board for us, and Gracie today was finally coaxed into the pink skating dress Santa brought her as now we can't get it off her! We are off to spend the afternoon with four friends who have kids and relax and hang out.
